The friendship between Messi and Neymar
The presence of Neymar at Lionel Messi's wedding, along with other FC Barcelona stars, confirmed the great friendship between the South American forwards. And to think that when the Brazilian arrived at Camp Nou, the story was completely different.
This was confirmed by Neymar himself in an interview with the Brazilian program 'Caldeirao do Huck', where he talked about how difficult it was for him to adapt to the idea of living with so many stars like Messi, Pique, Iniesta, Busquets, among others.
"I'm not saying that it was difficult to adapt to the Barcelona dressing room when I arrived, but the first month was complicated. It was an exquisite situation, of course, because when I entered and looked to one side, there was Messi and on the other side Xavi... or Iniesta, or Pique," said Neymar.

"It felt like I was in a video game: I had just played on the console (with them) and suddenly they were right next to me. At first, I was embarrassed to talk to them. They are idols, they are my idols. And I was the newcomer and very young, yes," he added.
On the other hand, the star of the Brazilian national team revealed that in the future, when the time comes to return to his roots, he would like to play for Flamengo, a team which he highlights for having a great fan base.
"When I played against them (with Santos) at Maracaná, I was impressed by the passion and loyalty of the fans. Even when they were losing to us, they never stopped supporting their team. That impressed me," said the '11' of FC Barcelona.
